Ice Dye Surprise Quilt

I have a feeling a lot of you were expecting a piece with a lot of bright colors. This was a new combination I tried. These two parts were probably in the same batch.It started with the center section. I dyed some pieces of fabric to go with it. They did not work at all.Plan B! I had another piece with similar colors but it had a totally different manipulation. It took me several tries to come up with an idea that worked. It was a challenge to design especially with a very limited amount of the border fabric.I'm not afraid to cut up a piece of my precious hand dyed fabric and try to make it work when I'm designing. Once I came up with a rough idea I did a lot of figuring and trial and error to make it work and fit. I have to say I am very pleased with it.Always remember, color gets all the credit, but value does all the work.
